placed in the box and thrown in the water. Full instructions with each Trap. 
“Sir,—The Eel Traps you sent to Sir Joseph Bailey have been most successful. We caught 
sixty-eight Eels yesterday morning, the two traps having been left down for two nights.— 
Yours truly, HeRBERT C. BaiLey.” [The above Traps were one 5 ft., and one 4 ft.] 
“East and West Mills, Bridport, 28th August 1895.—Dear Sir,—The Trap answers very well 
indeed, we caught upwards of thirty Eels last night, the first time we put it in. I expect to 
catch a good many first dirty water, as the runners begin to come down the stream this time 
of the year up to November.— Yours truly, Joun Fow.ER.” 
“‘ Avon Castle, Ringwood, Hants.—The Eel Traps I had from you have proved an enormous 
success; I occasionally get between forty and fifty, one trap one night.—J. TURNER TURNER.”

Reliable RAT, STOAT, WEASEL, and other VERMIN TRAP. 
It is one of the best Traps for catching Vermin, Animals, and Birds that has ever 
been invented. It has a trap door in centre of floor, and when set is perfectly level 
and cannot be noticed. The bait only requires to be laid on the floor of the Trap; 
immediately the animal puts its weight on the hinged floor the doors close. It has a 
clear space right through, thereby causing no suspicion whatever. Strongly made in 
galvanised iron, and painted. For catching Rabbits, Game, and such like, the floor 
can be taken away, and the natural earth will form the floor, The Trap can be taken 
to pieces in a few seconds, and packed into a small space; it will catch dozens where 
other traps are useless. The Traps can also be used for catching laid-up Ferrets, by 
placing them in front of the holes; also made large enough for catching Fox, and such like.
